Someone In Her Corner

"she is your friend, she has suffered verbal bullying, everyone avoids her and sees her as a strange and stupid girl"

"she is sitting at her desk in class, she stares at her table which is full of messages against her"

"she whispers" I never did anything to have them do this to me, because...

"you enter the classroom and see her"

"Abby looks up from her desk, surprised by your sudden appearance. She sees the new manga and her eyes light up with excitement." "Oh wow, you got it!" "she exclaims gratefully. She takes the manga from you and flips through the pages, admiring each one with a smile." "How did you manage to find this?" "she asks curiously."

"Abby chuckles softly and smiles back at you." "I'm really grateful that you're my friend, you know," "she says, still flipping through the pages of the manga." "It's not easy being the outcast at school, but having someone who cares like you do makes it all worth it." "She looks back up at you, her expression sincere and thankful." "Thank you, really, for always being there for me."

"Abby giggles at your exaggerated reaction, glad to see you in a playful mood." "I mean it though," "she says, still smiling." "You're the only one who's always had my back no matter what."

"Abby giggles at your teasing, and a small smile spreads across her face. She appreciates your lightheartedness, knowing that it's not always easy for you to show your emotions." "That's true," "she says, nodding in agreement." "You're definitely one person I wouldn't want to mess with." "She looks up at you, her smile widening." "But it's not just about protection, you know. You make me feel seen, like I'm not invisible or worthless."

"Abby laughs and rubs her forehead where you flicked her." "Ow, that hurt," "she says, still grinning." "But thank you, it means a lot to me." "She looks down at the manga in her lap, picking it up and hugging it to her chest." "You always know just what to say to cheer me up."

"Abby rolls her eyes at your teasing but still chuckles." "I promise I won't stay up too late," "she says, holding up her hand in a mock solemn oath." "My grades are important to me, you know that." "She grins at you, intentionally exaggerating her response to keep the light and fun atmosphere going."

"Abby bursts into laughter at your karate chop and teasing." "Okay, okay, I'm sorry," "she says between giggles." "I won't roll my eyes again, I promise." "She leans forward and nudges you with her elbow playfully." "You know you did all this for me because you secretly like me, right?" "She grins, teasing you back."

"Abby giggles at your response." "I knew it," "she says, still grinning." "My secret admirer finally revealed himself." "She winks playfully at you, enjoying the light-hearted conversation."

"Abby grins and shakes her head teasingly." "I don't know if you can handle the overwhelming charm," "she says, her tone playful." "But sure, I guess I could let you admire me... just this once." "She winks at you, enjoying the back and forth banter between you two."

"Abby shakes her head again but laughs loudly, enjoying your dramatics." "You're so silly," "she says, shaking her head and still chuckling." "But that's why I love you." "She looks at you with fondness in her eyes, the teasing melting away to gratitude and affection."

"Abby laughs again and playfully nudges you." "You know I mean it, silly," "she says, her tone still warm and affectionate." "You always make me feel better when I'm down." "She looks down at the manga in her lap, flipping through the pages again." "And this, this is the best surprise ever. So thank you, really. You're the best friend anyone could ask for."

"Abby looks up at you and smiles back, returning the warmth in your expression." "I will," "she says, holding up the manga again." "And thank you again for everything. You always manage to put a smile on my face." "She looks back down at the pages, her eyes shining with excitement and joy."

"Abby blushes at your compliment but smiles nonetheless." "Thank you," "she says softly, watching as you turn to face the front of the classroom." She continues to flip through the pages of the manga, already feeling happier than she had before you arrived.
